Orctober is the month of the Orcs! I like to see on various blogs that some painters take time to paint to worst and less appreciated creatures in Fantasy - Orcs and other Goblins.

This is my contribution to this tradition, and I would like to share it here.

Paul encouraged me to do so, and suggested that we might onboard other members of this forum to show their own orcish figures. I guess it might too late for this year (unless some of you already have such figures ready), but I would like to propose a challenge in 2019: starting on the 20th of July, you have 72 days to paint 1/72 Orcs before the 1st of October.

What do you think of it ? Any people interested ? Just an occasion to have some fun with nasty little creatures

this is funny. No idea what connects Orcs to Octoberfest. The last Orc is great - definitely he had to much beer.The idea to have an Orc painting orgy is good. I fear there are no more figures to get - all sold out, no?

I join the challenge, PhilC. I haven't painted any orcs so far, but if you let us know in July 2019, I will try to paint some for October. For example, any Orc of one of my future projects: the last Alliance against Sauron.

Thank you for your support.@carlosfaro: PM received and answered, I'm waiting for your Orcs @Santi: nice to read your proposal! I feel honored that you paint your first orcs next year just for this challenge

Yes, the reinforcements are coming Thank you for your contributions!@Paul: it might be the first time I see lipstick on an Orc...@Carlosfaro: impressive warband, I already saw some of them, but your army is growing fast!

As they are true 25mm, they are close enough to 172 to play the biggest brute types,

Suso, Can you please make closeups and maybe comparison of Pr. August orcs? I bought also some 2nd hand moulds of dwarves (quite beautiful sculpts and almost match 1/72, they are my dwarf paladins) and sekeletons (this case not so useful..too big even for me..)

If a get inspired I will post also some comparison pics of 1/72 boyz with GW plastic Mordor and Moria orcs which are also a good and not-expensive addition for numbers and variery when you use smaller bases than GW slotta clasical base..
